What Happens if We Don't Trade for Al?

[homeytennis]

I was driving to work this morning poed about the effort last night, and started to think: What would this team be like if we don't trade for Jefferson? We would have Fes, KK and Elson in the middle with Okur and Sap for power forwards. There probably was a big on the summer league team that could have been signed and you might see some more PT for Evans and elder Hayward. Plus we have the draft picks back.

As long as we have Elder Gordan Heyword, that's all that matters and that's all that I care about. Elder Gordan, please never leave.

in some universe kirilenko was never moved from his natural position and is winning mvp awards with career averages of 23/11/7/4/3

This hate for big al is a damn shame. He was never an all-star so not sure what anyone was expecting from him. He will get better, no doubt. You have seen flashes of what he can do. Move him to his natural position. He causes matchup problems for most pf, not so much for opposing centers. Milsap must be traded or this team will never be able to show what they are capable of.

I could not agree more, either move Millsap or make him come of the bench. I would love to see Fes/Al/AK/Hayward/Deron start the games. Then you get Ewat/Price/Miles/Millsap/Memo. At least try it for a few games. Nothing could hurt at this point.

Change Fes to Okur.

Unfortunately benching Sap after he waited 4 years for this would not sit well with him. The only real option is trading him, making it a difficult situation to say the least.

Something has to be done. Start CJ or do something just for change's sake.

Couldn't the Jazz just trade Big Al? You know, since he's paid more and does less than Paul.

Just saying.

And count me in the camp that still wonders what the deal(s) were that involved the Jazz moving up and drafting DeMarcus Cousins.

Cousins + Matthews + Millsap > Big Al + Hayward + Millsap

We will likely never know the particulars.

Millsap homers are pathetic. I like the guy, but Jefferson and Millsap's stats are essentially a wash and Al has been getting better as of late. The better scorer is Al and it will show either later this season or at the start of next season when he actually starts getting plays run for him. Of course, everyone fails to recognize this because they're so used to Matt Harpring and Craig Bolerjack telling them how hard Millsap works all the time and how he can do nothing wrong. In reality, his defense has been pathetic this year and he's put up just as many terrible games as Al.

have to admit millsap gets torched on a regular basis now. Dont believe he plays with the intensity he did 2-3 years ago on the defensive side.
